Current IPO Subscription Status
The IPO subscription status reflects the number of times an IPO has been subscribed on the NSE and BSE, showcasing demand across investor categories such as retail, qualified institutional buyers (QIB), and non-institutional investors (NII). For mainboard IPOs, typically launched by larger and more established companies, the subscription period is open for three working days. In contrast, SME IPOs, which cater to small and medium enterprises, have a longer subscription period of four to five working days, reflecting their distinct listing requirements.

Importance of IPO Subscription
Investors can choose to apply for an IPO based on their analysis and investment goals. High IPO subscription numbers often indicate strong demand, suggesting that the IPO may list at a higher price than its issue price.
Such trends also influence the Grey Market Premium (GMP), reflecting investor sentiment and market expectations before the listing.
The subscription patterns of specific investor categories, such as High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) and Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), provide additional insights into IPO listing price estimates and overall market confidence.
